Review the requirements for replacing a chassis in a FAS8200 system

Before replacing the chassis in a FAS8200 system, verify that all other components are functioning properly and that the replacement chassis is a new component from NetApp of the same model. The procedure requires moving the power supplies, fans, and controller modules to the new chassis and is disruptive, causing a complete service outage in a two-controller cluster or a partial outage in a multi-node cluster.

All other components in the system must be functioning properly. If they aren't, contact technical support.

  • You can use this procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system.

  • This procedure is written with the assumption that you are moving the controller module or modules to the new chassis, and that the chassis is a new component from NetApp.

  • This procedure is disruptive. For a two-controller cluster, you have a complete service outage and a partial outage in a multi-node cluster.
